My original post was to show that CW not only does not care about their customers they do not care about their employees either...
So you're saying CW doesn't provide a good wage, comfortable work environment, benefits, etc. But dang they took away that little 'ole employee discount, so they must clearly despise their employees.
So how does a company grow to be the #1 RV dealer and RV Accessories seller in the world by treating employees and customers poorly. As a customer, you can't argue with the fact that CW makes it super easy and affordable for new RVers to get in the game. Huge inventory, massive inventory diversity, unprecedented accessibility to their services, a finance option for every budget, a trinket for every need and desire, a program for every imaginable scenario (roadside, tire damage, warranty, insurance, etc.). Like many large corporations, customer service is only as good as the person you're dealing with at that moment. Go to CW in one town and hate your experience, but drive to the next town and be greeted with smiles and warm hugs.
Sugar coating S**t does not make it a brownie. Super easy and affordable? LOL.

As someone who just bought a brand new Ram with an EP number - EP stands Employee Purchase, I can tell you that it is significantly lower than affiliate plans or friends of employees. It's also better than the so called \"Employee Pricing\" you hear on car commercials.
If taking away employee discounts is cold blooded than all the major auto manufacturers are also cold blooded. By offering employee pricing to the public they essentially took that perk away from their employees.

And for sure, they don't care about the posters that do nothing but BASH them.

I was surprised to see CW in Madison WI changed its name to Gander RV.
Why would a company change its brand like that?
When I had a retail store. Changing its name never came into my thought process.
Many reasons to change a name. But I think the biggest reason the name is changed is to hopefully make people forget something bad about the old name.
I live in Minnesota summers. No sportsman I know like gander Mtn , or whatever they call themselves these days
